I'm married with Xavier since almost 30 years ago.
We have 5 children, 4 girls twins Coline and Anouk 22 years old, Emma 20 years, Mariette 18 years and 1 boy Syméon 14 years old.
We live in an old typical house in a little village in the countryside; 20 km from Lyon. (buses takes you down town)

I am a nurse, I take care of old people. I am also a volunteer at Medecin du monde.
Xavier is a tourist guide in Costa Rica.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel around the world and we like to share experiences with people. We like to have guests at home and learn about foreign cultures.

One of my daughter Coline is traveling around the world using only couch surfing. When we visited her we tried it and I really liked it and thought I could also do it at home.

Interests

I love to walk in the forest, every year I walk on the St Jacques de Compostelle's ways.

We practice yoga and meditation, and tennis (as my husband is a former tennis teacher)

We like to go to cinema in Lyon, listen music, invite friends at home.
